One thing to consider is how much you will use the rolled hem foot. I say this because I have found such a learning curve to actually making them work that I find it easier to fold by hand. If this is a one shot deal, decide how much effort and money you want to invest in the project. If you are going to be doing a lot of it (by _your_ definition) then it may be worth getting the hang of those beasties. I never found it worth while... nor did my professional seamstress wife. But you may love them after you figure it out.

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

All valid points... The 3mm head was only like $6 and I like learning new skills, I know how to use the sewing machine well enough to sew up pillow cases and curtains... Just never done something that's supposed to hold me in the air... And i have done a rolled hem just didn't know that's what it was called... I just called it doubling over the hem because I hemmed it stitched it then rolled it and stitched again...

I'm staying away from it now ill just hand roll it, its not like I'm going into business doing it... Just a hammock with bugnet for me... Then a stuff sack sometime soon that all my hammock gear can go in then a top quilt and under quilt before winter...

That's what they all say....... Welcome to the dark side of the dark side.

I added all I have planned for now... I am not hooked... I enjoy making stuff always have, man's gotta have something to keep his mind occupied... and plus you save money right? (we know that ain't true)... There will probably be a bunch more stuff somewhere down the road but for now that's my list... I just want less bulk/weight than my Gt ultralight and hammock bliss bug net carabiner set up... It's easy to setup but its the size of a gallon of milk and like 2 lbs and i know I can do better...
